    - They're ruled over by powerful bosses that reside atop glass towers.
    - Where no weapons are allowed.

    - Then how are they supposed to kill the bosses?

    - They can't! They don't even make it past middle management.

    LOVED the video @Liue! 😍😍😍 Makes me want to login to the game and visit some taverns. Sadly, at the moment I'm not at my gaming PC 😭 but I think tomorrow I'll spend.... well, the whole day probably in there 😂

    Guys - we have more info on the WoW #GameTogether events (WoW Fridays!), check official announcement here. Schedule to be updated soon. ANYONE is welcome to join the game nights, even if you're not in the Nordic region! Would love to see you there. The competition itself is Nordic-specific this time, so DK/FI/NO/SE members when it comes to the game time codes, however, anyone who loves travelling around in Azeroth and sharing screenshots from your travels, and commenting on the photos from others, join us anyway for the fun of it! 😊

    I decided to refresh this thread a little, since the expansion is already there.

    I've been rather busy IRL, so I didn't get very far yet, but I managed to get to the level cap and finish the leveling story. I will save the judgement of the expansion for later, but the first impressions were quite positive. The story feels written better than the Shadowlands' one, the side quests are stories of their own, not just "bring me this stuff and that". There are also rewards attached to the side chains, such as new transmog pieces or customisation options for the drake mounts.

    Launch experience wasn't great, at least in the EU. Usually I was able to at least start the quests and have a first look at the new zone. Not this time, however. The boat for Alliance players was broken, several servers went down and when they went up neither the boat nor the portal that Blizzard hotfixed in worked. People who somehow managed to get transported to the Isles already (mostly Horde) got stuck in DC loops. I just gave up and went to sleep instead, it was just a shame because that was my only opportunity to play before very late on the next day.

    I had no chance to play outside of prime time and on the very large realms it was a very laggy experience. My guildies on Draenor pretty much gave up on questing and did dungeons for experience instead without looting anything, as that'd get the character stuck for 30 seconds or so each time. Some people were hit by even worse lag. I ended up doing some races when waiting for my partner to re-level outside of Draenor. The races have been quite pleasant, although very easy for me because I had experience with similar mechanics from Guild Wars 2.

    I liked how the game focused on building the background for the dragons, there are many cute details on the isles. Whelps reading - bookwyrms? Whelps getting stories read for bedtime. A whelp asking the player to help fixing their favourite toy.

    I went in with modest expectations, so far the expansion has been very pleasant. It's worth dropping in to do the story at least and have fun for a while. What after that? Time will tell.
